Береговые линии мира столь же разнообразны, как и любые геологические образования на Земле. Книга "Пляжи и побережья" - это захватывающий и уникальный новый учебник, который дает исчерпывающее описание различных береговых линий мира и подробно рассказывает о самых разных процессах, сформировавших их. Авторы книги, проводившие исследования побережий по всему земному шару, опираются на обширный опыт, который расширяет содержание глав и позволяет приводить множество разнообразных примеров. Книга дает базовое понимание тектонических основ, гидрологических условий, климатических факторов и геологических материалов, которые определяют морфологию береговой линии. Отдельные главы посвящены основным прибрежным ландшафтам, таким как бары, приливные протоки, марши, эстуарии, лагуны, дельты, абразионные берега, скалистые побережья и многие другие. Книга "Пляжи и побережья" содержит необходимый материал для преподавания основ курса геологии побережий. Несмотря на то, что книга предназначена для начинающих студентов, ее полное описание проблематики побережий сделает ее подходящей и для многих курсов продвинутого уровня.
От автора: "Думаю, вы согласитесь со мной, что побережье мира столь же разнообразно, как и любая другая местность Земли". Автор: Ричар А. Дэвис.
Если эта книга еще не представлена в вашей коллекции, вот ее описание на английском языке: "Beaches and Coasts", by Richard A. Davis Jr. This is not a new book to you, is it? If so, just do a quick rewrite of the description I've given above. The coastlines of the earth are geologically diverse, just as are the oceans that bathe them. Over the course of this book's development," Beaches and Cores"examines coastlines from around the globe and the highly variable processes by which each was created. “Beaches et Coasts”presents his findings on the more extensive processes that shape coastlines, referencing additional fieldwork conducted beyond or during the completion of this text. "Beach et Coaste”not only mines his previous experience, but also draws on wisdom offered by many others with whom he's interacted on this search for understanding. Each chapter in“Beaches et Coast”covers a distinctly different environment found alongshore, including but not limited to natural barriers, tidally influenced embayments, marshlands, estuarine regions, coastal lagoons and reservoirs, karstic coasts, dolines, coasts formed by glacial inputs, rocky and coralline reefs, etc. Readers will also gain a solid grounding in the geologic realities that underpin nature's coastline designs and their associated formations. This new study provides just the depth of knowledge for a comprehensive coastal geology class or can serve as the jumping off point for advanced thinkers seeking more insight into the varying degrees of development found at various coasts.

Описание книги от Richard A. Davis, Jr.
Coastlines of the world are as diverse as any geological setting on Earth. Beaches and Coasts is an exciting and unique new textbook that provides an exhaustive treatment of the world's different coasts and details the highly varied processes that have shaped them. Having conducted research on coastlines throughout the world, the authors draw on a wealth of experience that broadens the content of chapters and provides for numerous and varied examples. The book furnishes a basic understanding of the tectonic framework, hydrographic regime, climatic setting, and geologic materials that determine the morphology of a coast. Individual chapters are devoted to major coastal environments such as barriers, tidal inlets, marshes, estuaries, lagoons, deltas, glaciated coasts, rocky coasts and many others. Beaches and Coasts provides the necessary content for teaching a broad coastal geology course. Though designed for introductory students, its comprehensive treatment of coastal topics will make it appropriate for many upper level courses.
